Shivamogga:
Hours after the killing of a member of the rightwing Bajrang Dal in Karnataka’s Shivamogga, the police made its first arrests.
CCTV footage has emerged of one man being arrested from the neighbourhood where Harsha, 26, was stabbed on Sunday night.
In the clip recorded at a little after 3 am early Monday, the man is searched by the police and then led away by them.
The police have arrested two people and detained one after questioning about a dozen people on the murder, which spurred violence and arson in Shivamogga yesterday.
“All the accused have been identified and are being traced. We will arrest everyone involved, only then we can say what the motive was behind the murder,” said senior police officer Pratap Reddy.
The government said the murder would be investigated from “all angles including the hijab row”.
